VirxolctTXcaL. TO ALL WANTING FARMS; NEW SETTLEMENT OF YINELAND. A REMEDY FOtThARD TIMES. A Rare opportunity in the Boat Market, and Most Dolightiul and Healthful Climate in the Unloj, Only Thirty Miles South of Philadelphia, on a Railroad, beihe; n Rich, Heavy Soil, and a Highly Productive Wheat Land, Among the Best in the Garden Stato of New Jersey It consists of 20,000 acros of good land, divided into farrr s of different sizes to suit the purchaser from 20 acres and upwards and is sold at the rate of from $15 to $20 per no re for the farm land payable one-fourth cash-and 'he balanoe byquar-tor-yoarly instalments, with logal interest, wilhin the term of four years. THE SOIL Is, in grent part, a Rich Clay Loam, suitable for Wheat, Grass and Potatoes also a dark and rich sandy loam, suitable for corn sweet potatoes, to-bacoo, all kinds of vegetable! and root oreps, and the finest varieties of fruit, such as drapes, Pears, Peaches, Apricots, Nectarines, Blackberrios, Melons and other fruits, best adaptod to the Philadelphia and Now York markets. In respect to the soil and orops there oan be no mistake, as visitors can examine both, and none are oxpoctod to buy before so doing; and finding those atatoments correot under these ciroumstanooi, unless there statements were oorrect, there would be no use in their being made. It is cnnnidored THE BEST FRUIT SOIL IN TITE UNION. SoeRoports of Solon Robinson, Esq., of tho N. Y.Tribune, and tho well-known agriculturist, Wm Parry of Cinuaminson, Now Jorsoy, which will be furnished Inquirers. . THE MARKET. -Cy looking over a map the rondor will perceive that it enjoys the best narkot in tho Union, and has diroot communication with New York and Philadelphia twico a day, being only thirty-two miles from the lnttor. Produce in this market brings double tho price that it does in locations distant from tlie cities. In this location it can be put into market the same morning it is "gathered, and for what the farmer sella he gets the highest price; whilst groceries and other articles he purchases he gets at the lowest price. In the West, what ho soils brings him a pittance, but for what he buys he pays two prices. In locating here the lettlerlbas many other advantages. He is within a few hours by railroad, of all the great oitios of Now England and tho Middlo States. He is near his old friends and nseooia ions. He has school for his ohildron, divine sorvice, and all the advantage's of civilisation, and he is near a largo city. THE CLIMATE Is delightful: the winters being salubrious and open, whilst the summers are no warmer than in the North. Tho location is upon tho lino of latitude with Northorn Virginia. Persons wanting a chango of climate for health, would bo much benefitted in Vinoland. The mildness oi' the climate and its bracing inlluoncc, makes itexccllont for all pnlmonnry nffoctions, dyspepsia, or gonoral dobility, Visitors will notice a diffor-e jco in a few dav. Chills and fevers re unknown. CONVENIENCES AT HAND. Building material is plenty. Fish and oysters aro plentiful and chenp. Visitors mint expect however to eo a new piece. WHY THE PROPERTY HAS NOT BEEN SET-TIED BEFORE. "This quostion the reader nnturnlly asks. Itis because it has been held in largo tracts by familios not disposed to sell, and being witho it railroad facilities thoy had fow inducements, Tho railroad has just boon opened through tho property this season for tho first time. Visitors aro shown over the land in u c.irriaj, free of expense, an nffordod time and opportunity for thorough investigation. Those who come with a view to sottle, should bring money to sooure their purchases, as locations are not held upon refusal. The safest thing in hard timos, where people have boen thrown out of deployment or business, and possess somo little moansor small incomes,is tostnrt themselvos a home. They can buy a pieco of land at a small price, and earn more than wages in improving it; and when itis done it is a certain independence and no bas. A few acres in fruit trees will insuro a comfortable living. Tho land is put down to hard time prices, and all improvements can be made at a cheaper rate than most any other time. The whole tract with six milos front on tho railroad, is being laid out with line and spacious avenues with a town in tho centre five acre lots in the town soil at from $150 to $'200; two and-n-half acre lots at from $80 to $120, and town lots 50 feet front by 150 foo deep; at $100 payable one half oash and the balance within a year. Itis only upon farms of twenty acres, or more, that four years' time is given. TO MANUFACTURERS, the town affords a fine opening for tbe (hoe manufacturing business, and other articles, being near Philadelphia, and tbe surrounding country has a large population, which affords a good market. This settlement in theccurse of a several years, will be one of tho most beautiful placos in the country, and most agroenble tor a residence. It is intended to make it a Vine and Fruit growing country, as this oulturo is the most piofltuble and the best adapted to the market Every advantage and convenience for settlers will be introduced which will insure the prosperity of the plaoe The hard times throughout the country will be an advantage to the settlement, as it compols people to rosortto agriculture for a living Largo numbers of people are purchasing, and poo pie who desire the boat location should visit the place at once. Improved land is also for sale. TIMBER Land oan be bought either with or without timber. The Timber at market valuation. The Title is indisputable. Warrantee Deeds given,clear of all incumbrance, when tho money is paid. Boarding conveniences at hand.

OF THE NEW vORK TRIBUNE, UPOM TIU VINELAND SETTLEMENT 9The following an extract from the report of Solon Robinson, Esq., published in the New York Tribune, ir. reference to Vineland. All persons can read this report with interest. Advantages of Fat ruing near Home Vine land Remarks upon Marl Soil, its great Fertility The Cause of Fertility Amount of Crops Produced Practical Evidence.. Itlsoertainly one of the most extensive fertile tracts, in an almost level position, and suitable condition for pleasant fnrmin; that we know of this side of the western prairies. We found soma of the oldest farms apparently just as profitably productive at when Brat cleared of forest fifty er a hundred years ago The geologist would soon discover the cause of this continued fertility. The whole oountryisa marine deposit, and all through the soil we found evidences of calcareous snbstanoes, generally in the form of indurated calcareous marl, showing maay distinct forms of ancient shells, of the tertia- rjiurmauen;ana mis marly substance is scattered all through the toil, in a very comminuted form, andia the exact condition most easily assimilated by suoh plants as the farmer dosiros to cultivate. Marl in all its forms, hut been n,t in fartniia crops in England, from the time it was eeeapied by the Romans; and in France and Germany a mail bed la counted oa a a valuable bed of manure,that can be dug and carted and spread over the Held. How muoh more valuable then it must be, when found already mixed throuih the toil where partioles will be turned np and exposed, and transformed to the ownen use every Una he stirs tte earth: .Having then satisfied ear m ais of the canse.tbey will not be excited with, wonder at teeing indubitable evidence of fertility in a toil which in other tituations, having the same general characteristics or at lout appearances, is entirely unreinunerative except as its productiveness is promoted by artificial fertilization. I A few words about the quality and valim ni.L land for cultivation, of which we bavo strong proof, Our first visit was to William D. Wilnnn. Pnv. lln township, Gloucester eonnty; who purohasui some eight miles north of Millville, about throe yearsago, for tho purposo of establishing a atoain mill to work up the timtor into lumbar, to tond off by tho new railroad, as well as firewood and coal, for which he bu lit a branch track a mile and a'half long. Ho also furnished sixteen milos'of the road with ties, and hat no doubt mode the mill profitable, though hit main object wot to open a farm, having becomo convinced that the soil wat valuable for cultivation. In this he has not beon disap- Liuiubuu, w luma w uis erupt provo. ror Instance, ast year, tho second time of oroppintr. 300 bushula of potatoes os one acre, worth GO cents abushel in tno noia. iuis year soven acros itnout any ma-nuro produeed 356 bushels of oats. In one field, the first crop wot potatoes planted among the roots and yielded 75 bushels. The potatoes wore Hi, and wheat towd, and yielded IS bushels; and the stubble turned and sown to buckwheat, which yield ed 33 bushels; and then the ground was sown to clover and timothy, which gave as a first orop 2J Tho fertilizers applied to these orops; were first, ashes from eloarings; seoond 225 pounds superphosphate of Mine; third '!00 pounds Peruvinn guano; then 50 bushels of slaked lime hat boen spread npon tho olovorsinco it wat mowed, and turned in for wheat. Mr- Wilson't Browing orops. and the wheat atnh. ble.of tho present season, all indicate his land as being productive as any part of the Stato, At Mary Barrow's, an old stylo Jorsoy woman farmer, sevornl miles south of Mr. Wilson's, wt were so particularly struok with the. fine appearance of a field of corn, that wo stopped to inquire of a hired man how it was produced. Wo found mat tno lane naa been tbe year but ono bofore in wheat, sown with clover, and this cut una mumn and last spring plowod onco with 'ono poor old nag' and planted with corn. 1 es, lut you manured hich, we suppose? wo said Mnterrogatively,and got this reply warn, you soo, we oouldn t a done that, bocause we hadn't but forty ono-horse loads altogether, fur 23 acres, and we wanted tho most on it for the truck." The truck consisted of boots.carrots. cabbairo. ou. Jumbors, melons, 4c, and a very productive patch of Lima Beans, grown for marketing. So we were mtisficd that the soil was not infertile, even unniit. ed by clover, which had fed the corn, b eoauso tho truck patch had not boen clovered,and had been in cultivation long enough to obliterate all signs of tho luresi.- Our next visit was to tho farm of Andrew Sham five miles north of Millville. from half to a mile east of tho railroad, and just about in the centre of Vineland. Mr. Sharp commenced work hero in December, 1853, upon 270 acrot. In less than three years he has fot 234 acres olearod and in orops this season, all woll inclosed and divided into several fields, with cedarrail or pole fence: has built a two story dwelling, about 3d by 40 feet, and a smaller house for farm laborers, and a stablo or granary and some other outbuildings. (Jonsidorauie partot tho land was cleared for the plow at $9 per acre, and on some of it the first crop was buckwheat, limed with 50 bushels in powder per acre. This orop may bo put in July 4th to 20th and yields 20 to 30 bushols per acre, harvested in November; whon the land being sowed with 150 lbs of Poruvian guano and seeded with ryo,yieldod 12 to 15 bushols per aoro and $10 worth of straw.

The Nashville Banner now coDies arti cles talking about "rebels" and "tbe rebellion," just as freely as we do. The editor evidently doesn't expect ever to be unaer reDei sway again. The Louisvillo Democrat savs that Jeff Davis has lost the Border States. But he never had them to lose. For instance, he never had Kentucky. He only "put his root in it," And in return Uncle Sam has put his Foote in Tennessee, Immediately in and around Bowline- Green, there are three or four thousand rebel carcasses, scarcely half-buried, and, unfortunately for Bowlintr Green, dead rebels smell even worse than live ones March came in with a bluster iuat as the rebels did when they invaded Ken. tucky. Perhaps it will go out as quietly aa mey nave acme. The Bmoke and flame of battle usually begrims and blacken fla?8, but they bleached Buckner'a black flag to what passed for white. Jeff Davis savs Ihat the Southern firm- federacy has no floating debt.1 True the poor creditors may consider it sunk. The 'glorious Union flat?, which the old Hero of the Hermitage so dearlv loved. can now be raised over his grave. Buckner is a liberal fellow. At Fort Donelson he proposed to treat. Thank you, sa;d Grant, I don't indulge. Tennessee is evidently hep-ianing to think that secession is an excellent thing to secede from. It is established that John Bell is in sane. .Perhaps he was so when he turned rebel. The Richmond Whig says that Jeff Davis is a small potato. We suppose that's the reason the Editor gives him a dig. Look Jis as Bold as a Lion. A South ern Adonis, not particularly celebrated for his personal attractions.on completiug a some what protracted toilet one morning, turned to bis servant and inquired, "How do I look, Cesar!" '"Plendid, mass.,, "plendid!" was Ehony's delightful answer. "Do you think I'll do, Ctusar!" he asked survoying himself in a glass and giving C- sar a piece of silver. "Guy! masss, neber saw you look so flero8 in all my life. You look jis as bold as a lion!1 "A lion? why , what do you know about a lion? You never saw one, Caisar." "Nebber see a lion, massa! Guyl I see massa Peyton's Jim ride one ober to da mill ebery day." "Why, you loot, that's a donkey!" "Can't holp dat massa," said Ctesar, "you hok jis fi'id himl The "colored compliment" was not Im proved by tbe amendment. Neveb Mind the YoodSued. "My dear Amelia," said Mr. O. D. Collone to the young lady whose smiles he was seeking. "I have long wished fot this sweet opportunity, but I hardly dare trust myself now to speak tbe deep emotions of my palpitating hoart; but I declare to you, my dear Amelia, that I love you most tenderly; your smiles would shed I say your smiles would shed would shed" "Never mind the woodshod," says the dear Amelia; "go on with the pretty talk."

The drivelini but devilish spirit of New England abolitionism excices mingled feelings of Ditv. contempt and scorn. The war wmcn Lincoln is now waging upon the South, is one of tbe most unrighteous, and unjuslina. ble recorded in history. Tht guilt of its un numbered and heaven daring crimes rests heavily upon the bead of the besotted tyrant by whom it is prosecuted rat toe gratincauon of bis own unhallowed ambition and wicked revenge. The Huler of the Universe eertaioly never designed that a mongrel race, composed ol the debris of all nations of Europe, swept upon its shores by tbe waves of the Atlantic; infidel and Goi-defying; presumptions, and Bible-ignoring; rife with every error and pernicious ism; cowardly, cruel ana treacherous: should exercise despotic author ity over a Christian people.

Spselal to the Timet; Wasbinqtoh, March 12 . Trie state ment published that a Cou no il of War in Washington decided six 13 rour, mat me army of the Potomai oould not be moved against the enemy at prosent. is entirely untrue. The Generals were unanimous that an advance was possible and proper, the only difference was as to the plan of the proposed attack. A correspondent of the Times who accompanied the advance upon Centerville and Manassas, has mst come in. It was only last Friday that the retreat of tho Kebeis irom itntcrviue commenced. Oen. Johnson left last Friday morning; Gsn. Smi h left on Saturday afternoon, and Col. Stuart lest Monday, tba day our army left Camp on the Potomac. The retreat was conducted very orderly at first, and nothing left at Centerville that could be useful to us. , ThefortH were well planned, and very formi (Me. It was on Monday evening that the first sign of -anio was noticed at Manassas. A party of Stuart's rear column was preparing a team to move southward hy railroad, when they learned some excited rebels had set file to the bridges a head of them, they immediately began to burn and destroy and run away in general confusion. Five hundred barrels of flour piled np in ranks, had their heads stove iu. Bar rels of molasaes suffered the same way. 160 barrels or kegs af powder were left, which they did not know how to destroy in safety to themsleves. It seems to be confirmed that the enemy had two weeks since betwoen 0,000 and 60,000 troops at Centerville and Manassas, and that they only began their retreat last Friday. Why they went is a mystery, as that number of men in their fortifications would have been eq ial to three times the force assailing, them. They commanded the Roads, and the fire of not less than a 100 puns rould b converged upon any approach to the defences, but the guns were never brought from Manilas to mount the Centerville forts. A Railroad track exUnded from Manns-sas to Centerville, and a telegraph line. The rebels Generals had thir headquart ers at Centerville altogether, and a mors conveuient and completo military establishment could not be found in Washing ton. Through Manassas the enemy continued their retreat as quickly as it began. T ey carried off all their heavy guns, from 40 to 60 in number, part of their army marching by turnpike to Warrecton nnd part to Gordonsville, where it is said they would make a stand. Th y must have feared to trust their men whose enlistments were expiring, or their powder, v here many accounts agree is of a very inferior qulity. The strangest news brought bv the Times' correspondent, is that Gen, Jackson and one half of his army, whom Gen. Banks yesterday supposed he was closely watching in Winn Chester, went down the railroad to Manassas one week ago, and quietly marched off southward. The fiber half are said to be moving southward in the valley of the Shennandoah. St Locis, March 13. A special to the Democrat from Cairo tho 12th, says: A gentleman who left Memphis Saturday arrived this morning, and reports theie is no troops at Memphis. Many persons were leaving the city. Cotton, molasses, sugar and other articles of merchandise, are being shipped down the river. The policy of burning the city is still being discussed. Speeches were made every night. All means are being ueed to check the increasing demoralisation and excite the war spirit. Bragg had come up from Peneacola with 10,000 men. These were sent to reinforce New Madrid and Island No 10. Bragg and Beauregard are at Jackson Tenn., const' uc ing fortifications. All the negroes in the country were called to work on them. Martial law was proclaimed at Memphis last Monday, for the purpose of checking the insubordination and compel citisens to turn out and fight No defensive preparations are being made at Randolph, nor between there and New Orleans. There is a strong position at Fort Pil low, but less formidable than at Colum bus. Their gunboats are all at Island No. 10 and are carrying rifled 24 and 32 pound ers. The fleet is under command of Hollins. A messenger from New Madrid reports all quiet this morning.

A Rare opportunity in the Boat Market, and Most Dolightiul and Healthful Climate in the Unloj, Only Thirty Miles South of Philadelphia, on a Railroad, beihe; n Rich, Heavy Soil, and a Highly Productive Wheat Land, Among the Best in the Garden Stato of New Jersey It consists of 20,000 acros of good land, divided into farrr s of different sizes to suit the purchaser from 20 acres and upwards and is sold at the rate of from $15 to $20 per no re for the farm land payable one-fourth cash-and 'he balanoe byquar-tor-yoarly instalments, with logal interest, wilhin the term of four years. THE SOIL Is, in grent part, a Rich Clay Loam, suitable for Wheat, Grass and Potatoes also a dark and rich sandy loam, suitable for corn sweet potatoes, to-bacoo, all kinds of vegetable! and root oreps, and the finest varieties of fruit, such as drapes, Pears, Peaches, Apricots, Nectarines, Blackberrios, Melons and other fruits, best adaptod to the Philadelphia and Now York markets. In respect to the soil and orops there oan be no mistake, as visitors can examine both, and none are oxpoctod to buy before so doing; and finding those atatoments correot under these ciroumstanooi, unless there statements were oorrect, there would be no use in their being made.

THE MARKET. -Cy looking over a map the rondor will perceive that it enjoys the best narkot in tho Union, and has diroot communication with New York and Philadelphia twico a day, being only thirty-two miles from the lnttor. Produce in this market brings double tho price that it does in locations distant from tlie cities. In this location it can be put into market the same morning it is "gathered, and for what the farmer sella he gets the highest price; whilst groceries and other articles he purchases he gets at the lowest price. In the West, what ho soils brings him a pittance, but for what he buys he pays two prices. In locating here the lettlerlbas many other advantages. He is within a few hours by railroad, of all the great oitios of Now England and tho Middlo States. He is near his old friends and nseooia ions. He has school for his ohildron, divine sorvice, and all the advantage's of civilisation, and he is near a largo city. THE CLIMATE Is delightful: the winters being salubrious and open, whilst the summers are no warmer than in the North. Tho location is upon tho lino of latitude with Northorn Virginia. Persons wanting a chango of climate for health, would bo much benefitted in Vinoland. The mildness oi' the climate and its bracing inlluoncc, makes itexccllont for all pnlmonnry nffoctions, dyspepsia, or gonoral dobility, Visitors will notice a diffor-e jco in a few dav.

WHY THE PROPERTY HAS NOT BEEN SET-TIED BEFORE. "This quostion the reader nnturnlly asks. Itis because it has been held in largo tracts by familios not disposed to sell, and being witho it railroad facilities thoy had fow inducements, Tho railroad has just boon opened through tho property this season for tho first time. Visitors aro shown over the land in u c.irriaj, free of expense, an nffordod time and opportunity for thorough investigation. Those who come with a view to sottle, should bring money to sooure their purchases, as locations are not held upon refusal. The safest thing in hard timos, where people have boen thrown out of deployment or business, and possess somo little moansor small incomes,is tostnrt themselvos a home. They can buy a pieco of land at a small price, and earn more than wages in improving it; and when itis done it is a certain independence and no bas. A few acres in fruit trees will insuro a comfortable living. Tho land is put down to hard time prices, and all improvements can be made at a cheaper rate than most any other time. The whole tract with six milos front on tho railroad, is being laid out with line and spacious avenues with a town in tho centre five acre lots in the town soil at from $150 to $'200; two and-n-half acre lots at from $80 to $120, and town lots 50 feet front by 150 foo deep; at $100 payable one half oash and the balance within a year. Itis only upon farms of twenty acres, or more, that four years' time is given. TO MANUFACTURERS, the town affords a fine opening for tbe (hoe manufacturing business, and other articles, being near Philadelphia, and tbe surrounding country has a large population, which affords a good market. This settlement in theccurse of a several years, will be one of tho most beautiful placos in the country, and most agroenble tor a residence. It is intended to make it a Vine and Fruit growing country, as this oulturo is the most piofltuble and the best adapted to the market Every advantage and convenience for settlers will be introduced which will insure the prosperity of the plaoe The hard times throughout the country will be an advantage to the settlement, as it compols people to rosortto agriculture for a living Largo numbers of people are purchasing, and poo pie who desire the boat location should visit the place at once. Improved land is also for sale. TIMBER Land oan be bought either with or without timber. The Timber at market valuation. The Title is indisputable.

OF THE NEW vORK TRIBUNE, UPOM TIU VINELAND SETTLEMENT 9The following an extract from the report of Solon Robinson, Esq., published in the New York Tribune, ir. reference to Vineland. All persons can read this report with interest. Advantages of Fat ruing near Home Vine land Remarks upon Marl Soil, its great Fertility The Cause of Fertility Amount of Crops Produced Practical Evidence.. Itlsoertainly one of the most extensive fertile tracts, in an almost level position, and suitable condition for pleasant fnrmin; that we know of this side of the western prairies. We found soma of the oldest farms apparently just as profitably productive at when Brat cleared of forest fifty er a hundred years ago The geologist would soon discover the cause of this continued fertility. The whole oountryisa marine deposit, and all through the soil we found evidences of calcareous snbstanoes, generally in the form of indurated calcareous marl, showing maay distinct forms of ancient shells, of the tertia- rjiurmauen;ana mis marly substance is scattered all through the toil, in a very comminuted form, andia the exact condition most easily assimilated by suoh plants as the farmer dosiros to cultivate. Marl in all its forms, hut been n,t in fartniia crops in England, from the time it was eeeapied by the Romans; and in France and Germany a mail bed la counted oa a a valuable bed of manure,that can be dug and carted and spread over the Held. How muoh more valuable then it must be, when found already mixed throuih the toil where partioles will be turned np and exposed, and transformed to the ownen use every Una he stirs tte earth: .Having then satisfied ear m ais of the canse.tbey will not be excited with, wonder at teeing indubitable evidence of fertility in a toil which in other tituations, having the same general characteristics or at lout appearances, is entirely unreinunerative except as its productiveness is promoted by artificial fertilization. I A few words about the quality and valim ni.L land for cultivation, of which we bavo strong proof, Our first visit was to William D. Wilnnn. Pnv. lln township, Gloucester eonnty; who purohasui some eight miles north of Millville, about throe yearsago, for tho purposo of establishing a atoain mill to work up the timtor into lumbar, to tond off by tho new railroad, as well as firewood and coal, for which he bu lit a branch track a mile and a'half long. Ho also furnished sixteen milos'of the road with ties, and hat no doubt mode the mill profitable, though hit main object wot to open a farm, having becomo convinced that the soil wat valuable for cultivation. In this he has not beon disap- Liuiubuu, w luma w uis erupt provo. ror Instance, ast year, tho second time of oroppintr. 300 bushula of potatoes os one acre, worth GO cents abushel in tno noia. iuis year soven acros itnout any ma-nuro produeed 356 bushels of oats. In one field, the first crop wot potatoes planted among the roots and yielded 75 bushels. The potatoes wore Hi, and wheat towd, and yielded IS bushels; and the stubble turned and sown to buckwheat, which yield ed 33 bushels; and then the ground was sown to clover and timothy, which gave as a first orop 2J Tho fertilizers applied to these orops; were first, ashes from eloarings; seoond 225 pounds superphosphate of Mine; third '!00 pounds Peruvinn guano; then 50 bushels of slaked lime hat boen spread npon tho olovorsinco it wat mowed, and turned in for wheat. Mr- Wilson't Browing orops. and the wheat atnh. ble.of tho present season, all indicate his land as being productive as any part of the Stato, At Mary Barrow's, an old stylo Jorsoy woman farmer, sevornl miles south of Mr. Wilson's, wt were so particularly struok with the. fine appearance of a field of corn, that wo stopped to inquire of a hired man how it was produced. Wo found mat tno lane naa been tbe year but ono bofore in wheat, sown with clover, and this cut una mumn and last spring plowod onco with 'ono poor old nag' and planted with corn. 1 es, lut you manured hich, we suppose? wo said Mnterrogatively,and got this reply warn, you soo, we oouldn t a done that, bocause we hadn't but forty ono-horse loads altogether, fur 23 acres, and we wanted tho most on it for the truck." The truck consisted of boots.carrots. cabbairo. ou. Jumbors, melons, 4c, and a very productive patch of Lima Beans, grown for marketing. So we were mtisficd that the soil was not infertile, even unniit. ed by clover, which had fed the corn, b eoauso tho truck patch had not boen clovered,and had been in cultivation long enough to obliterate all signs of tho luresi.- Our next visit was to tho farm of Andrew Sham five miles north of Millville. from half to a mile east of tho railroad, and just about in the centre of Vineland. Mr. Sharp commenced work hero in December, 1853, upon 270 acrot.

The Nashville Banner now coDies arti cles talking about "rebels" and "tbe rebellion," just as freely as we do. The editor evidently doesn't expect ever to be unaer reDei sway again. The Louisvillo Democrat savs that Jeff Davis has lost the Border States. But he never had them to lose. For instance, he never had Kentucky. He only "put his root in it," And in return Uncle Sam has put his Foote in Tennessee, Immediately in and around Bowline- Green, there are three or four thousand rebel carcasses, scarcely half-buried, and, unfortunately for Bowlintr Green, dead rebels smell even worse than live ones March came in with a bluster iuat as the rebels did when they invaded Ken. tucky. Perhaps it will go out as quietly aa mey nave acme. The Bmoke and flame of battle usually begrims and blacken fla?8, but they bleached Buckner'a black flag to what passed for white. Jeff Davis savs Ihat the Southern firm- federacy has no floating debt.1 True the poor creditors may consider it sunk. The 'glorious Union flat?, which the old Hero of the Hermitage so dearlv loved. can now be raised over his grave. Buckner is a liberal fellow. At Fort Donelson he proposed to treat. Thank you, sa;d Grant, I don't indulge. Tennessee is evidently hep-ianing to think that secession is an excellent thing to secede from. It is established that John Bell is in sane. .Perhaps he was so when he turned rebel. The Richmond Whig says that Jeff Davis is a small potato. We suppose that's the reason the Editor gives him a dig. Look Jis as Bold as a Lion.

Spselal to the Timet; Wasbinqtoh, March 12 . Trie state ment published that a Cou no il of War in Washington decided six 13 rour, mat me army of the Potomai oould not be moved against the enemy at prosent. is entirely untrue. The Generals were unanimous that an advance was possible and proper, the only difference was as to the plan of the proposed attack. A correspondent of the Times who accompanied the advance upon Centerville and Manassas, has mst come in. It was only last Friday that the retreat of tho Kebeis irom itntcrviue commenced. Oen. Johnson left last Friday morning; Gsn. Smi h left on Saturday afternoon, and Col. Stuart lest Monday, tba day our army left Camp on the Potomac. The retreat was conducted very orderly at first, and nothing left at Centerville that could be useful to us. , ThefortH were well planned, and very formi (Me. It was on Monday evening that the first sign of -anio was noticed at Manassas. A party of Stuart's rear column was preparing a team to move southward hy railroad, when they learned some excited rebels had set file to the bridges a head of them, they immediately began to burn and destroy and run away in general confusion. Five hundred barrels of flour piled np in ranks, had their heads stove iu. Bar rels of molasaes suffered the same way. 160 barrels or kegs af powder were left, which they did not know how to destroy in safety to themsleves. It seems to be confirmed that the enemy had two weeks since betwoen 0,000 and 60,000 troops at Centerville and Manassas, and that they only began their retreat last Friday. Why they went is a mystery, as that number of men in their fortifications would have been eq ial to three times the force assailing, them. They commanded the Roads, and the fire of not less than a 100 puns rould b converged upon any approach to the defences, but the guns were never brought from Manilas to mount the Centerville forts. A Railroad track exUnded from Manns-sas to Centerville, and a telegraph line. The rebels Generals had thir headquart ers at Centerville altogether, and a mors conveuient and completo military establishment could not be found in Washing ton. Through Manassas the enemy continued their retreat as quickly as it began. T ey carried off all their heavy guns, from 40 to 60 in number, part of their army marching by turnpike to Warrecton nnd part to Gordonsville, where it is said they would make a stand. Th y must have feared to trust their men whose enlistments were expiring, or their powder, v here many accounts agree is of a very inferior qulity. The strangest news brought bv the Times' correspondent, is that Gen, Jackson and one half of his army, whom Gen. Banks yesterday supposed he was closely watching in Winn Chester, went down the railroad to Manassas one week ago, and quietly marched off southward. The fiber half are said to be moving southward in the valley of the Shennandoah. St Locis, March 13. A special to the Democrat from Cairo tho 12th, says: A gentleman who left Memphis Saturday arrived this morning, and reports theie is no troops at Memphis. Many persons were leaving the city. Cotton, molasses, sugar and other articles of merchandise, are being shipped down the river. The policy of burning the city is still being discussed. Speeches were made every night. All means are being ueed to check the increasing demoralisation and excite the war spirit. Bragg had come up from Peneacola with 10,000 men. These were sent to reinforce New Madrid and Island No 10. Bragg and Beauregard are at Jackson Tenn., const' uc ing fortifications. All the negroes in the country were called to work on them. Martial law was proclaimed at Memphis last Monday, for the purpose of checking the insubordination and compel citisens to turn out and fight No defensive preparations are being made at Randolph, nor between there and New Orleans. There is a strong position at Fort Pil low, but less formidable than at Colum bus. Their gunboats are all at Island No. 10 and are carrying rifled 24 and 32 pound ers. The fleet is under command of Hollins. A messenger from New Madrid reports all quiet this morning.
